Orpik has company in the fatherhood department. Alzner, Beagle, Erskine, Nicklas Backstrom, Troy Brouwer, Curtis Glencross, Eric Fehr, Jason Chimera, Braden Holtby and Tim Gleason all have children, and John Carlson and Evgeny Kuznetsov are expecting their firsts soon.

As for the name, Brooks deferred to his wife.

“I didn’t have much input to be honest with you,” Orpik said to Monumental Network. “That was my wife’s creativity. I just had to agree to something. She did a good job with it. She’s got everything organized and prepared months in advance. I know a lot of people wait to see what the baby looks like, but she had that picked out and it seems fitting.”
